**Samsung's Galaxy Note 5 to Feature USB Type-C Connector**
According to a new report that cites Samsung's employees discussing on a Chinese social network, Weibo, the upcoming Galaxy Note 5 is expected to feature a USB 3.1 Type-C connector. This development comes as no surprise, especially when compared to rival OEM Sony, which has ruled out using USB Type-C in its smartphones. The inclusion of USB Type-C in the Galaxy Note 5 would be a significant step forward for Samsung, and it's interesting to note that this technology is becoming increasingly popular among manufacturers.
The report suggests that Samsung will pair the USB Type-C connector with USB Power Delivery V 2.0, which can deliver up to 100 watts of power. This means that users will be able to charge their device more quickly than ever before, and it's also worth noting that this technology allows for faster data transfer between devices. With the Galaxy Note 5 expected to have a large battery, the ability to use the USB Type-C connector to charge another smartphone could be a highly useful feature.
**Samsung's Project Valley: A Foldable Device with Two Screens**
In a separate development, Samsung is reportedly working on a device codenamed "Project Valley" or simply "Project V". According to sources familiar with the matter, this device is expected to feature two screens that can alternate between them. The product is still in its early stages of development, and it's unclear whether it will ever see the light of day.
The implications of Project Valley are significant, as it suggests that Samsung is exploring ways to commercialize its foldable AMOLED panels. This technology has shown great potential in devices like the Galaxy Note Edge, which featured two separate screens fused together into a single product. The intuitive and unique way of interacting with this device was widely praised, and it's possible that Project Valley could offer similar benefits.
However, it's worth noting that this is simply a patent filing, and it's unclear whether Project Valley will actually be released as a commercial product. Nevertheless, it's interesting to get a glimpse into Samsung's research and development, and the potential for foldable devices is certainly an exciting area of innovation.
**BlackBerry Considering Android Device with Slide-Out Keyboard**
In other news, BlackBerry is reportedly considering releasing an Android device this autumn. According to internal sources, the device will feature a touch screen and one of those physical keyboards that continue to keep die-hard Crackberry fans around. The keyboard in question is said to be a slide-out keyboard that users can opt to use or simply ignore.
BlackBerry has stated that they don't comment on rumors and speculation, but it's clear that the company remains committed to its BlackBerry 10 operating system, which provides security and productivity benefits unmatched by other platforms. It's likely that the Android device is intended as a way for BlackBerry to promote its software and services, and it will be interesting to see how this device performs in the market.
One commenter on social media noted that the keyboard is like "a good looking lover - you have a one night stand with it feels good to the touch but it doesn't make the best alternative in the long run." This comment highlights the challenges of developing physical keyboards, which are still popular among some users despite the rise of touchscreen devices.

go alright so let's start off with the galaxy s6 edge plus the latest rumors hint at a 5.7 inch display complete with the dual curved edge display of the galaxy s6 edge previously a 5.5 inch model had been rumored furthermore sam mobile suggests that the handset will ship with android 5.1.1 out of the box and that the smartphone will arrive in q3 2015. we've already seen an early build of android 5.1.1 running on the galaxy s6 so a newer version of android seems likely for samsung's upcoming smartphone now a new trademark for a samsung handset has just been spotted in south korea which points to a product called the s6 note although the trademark doesn't contain any hardware details the note name tag suggests that this is a larger handset it's possible that the s6 edge plus actual name could end up being the galaxy s6 note now what about the note 5 arguably the biggest device to come later this year is the new note and as we approach the summer months the rumor mill begins to reveal what we expect from samsung's next flagship phablet according to a new report which cites samsung's employees talking on a chinese social network weibo the galaxy note 5 will have a usb 3.1 type-c connector and if this is true the galaxy note 5 could be one of the best devices of the year it's interesting that samsung is considering using usb type-c especially when rival oem sony ruled out using it in its smartphones if the galaxy note 5 has a large enough battery the ability to use it to charge another smartphone will certainly be of use if you carry more than one phone samsung will also reportably pair usb type c with usb power delivery v 2.0 which can deliver up to 100 watts of power and should mean that new technology will charge your handset a whole lot faster usb type-c will also mean you can transmit data to a 4k display in full native resolution the folks at sam mobile have obtained information about a new device samsung is working on allegedly called project valley or simply project v said to be in the very early stages of development the key feature here is a pair of screens and specialized gestures to alternate between them a caveat is given that the product may never see the light of day let alone a public unveiling and could be terminated at any time given the nature of the code name project valley there is the obvious implication that the device will fold at least somehow the question is or problem rather just how advanced such a feature would be years ago sony released the sony tablet p which features two screens that folded into one larger one the same was true for the japanese exclusive nec medius w dual screen smartphone and let's not forget the echo arguably the grandfather of them all still these devices all use two separate panels to achieve the desired effect if samsung is working on something this rudimentary it would call into question the logic giving that all three of the aforementioned devices fared rather poorly on the other hand if samsung is developing this prototype as a way to commercialize its foldable amoled panels then there's a lot of potential just look at how the galaxy note edge worked is a great indication of the potential as said device featured two separate screens fused together into a product that had a very intuitive and unique way of interacting with it now it's important to note here that this is simply a patent filing and may actually never end up in a store but it is interesting to get a peek into samsung's research and development now we heard some crazy rumors that blackberry

the case the idea is probably to promote the bes 12 security services running on other platforms bes 12 works not only with blackberry 10 but also with android ios and windows phone and since android is the most proliferated mobile os in the world it only makes sense to try and show the world what bes can do with it or maybe our friend christina mora said it best when she said this keyboard is
